Better product photos

The idea is that by clamping a piece of paper with one of these stands on each end, it creates the effect of an infinite plane, a featureless neutral backdrop, perfect for closeups of small objects on a non-distracting background. Here's a picture of the barn owl with and without the infinity plane, all lighting and positioning is otherwise the same:

It takes about 3.5 hours to print a set of these stands (Thingiverse #106568), but for photographing small objects it is the most useful tool I can recommend.
